Sacked England boss Sam Allardyce

Turns out his own agent helped to set-up the killer meeting where it all went wrong.

And now his agent, Scott McGarvey, has finally spoken out.

He’s said that the reporters started the whole process in June when Allardyce was still managing Sunderland and sounds pretty sad about the whole affair.

“It kills me, it’s the worst feeling in the world. I’ve got my own situation, but the real travesty is Sam.
